Looking for a cozy and fun way to spend your time in Brussels? Join our **Board Game Meetup**, where we play a mix of strategy, party, and cooperative games. Whether you’re new to board games or an experienced player, you’re welcome! Come alone or with friends — you’ll quickly find a table to join. **Free entrance. Friendly atmosphere. Great people.**

What's up Friends! 👋 Let's break the ice again! 😂 ! 🧊✨ This time let's try after work when the rink should be less busy🤞 📍 Time & place: Feel free to join at any time. For the ones who can make it at 18:30 we'll meet inside the Posseidon ice rink in the skate rental room. ❄️ The idea: Skate as long as you like (rink closes at 10pm). For the ones who get tired (of falling) we can meet at the cafeteria around 19:30 to recharge with some drinks and snacks. 🤑 Entry fee (cash or card): 13 EUR with skate rental 9 EUR if you bring your own skates 💁‍♂️ good to know: Consider arriving 15 mins earlier - getting a ticket takes time when there’s a line! ⏳ Bring a 50 cent coin for a locker if you need one (non-refundable) Picture ID is required for skate rental. Bring your handgloves🧤- you will need 'em! More info: https://www.skate-poseidon.be/ ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Skating is fun, but safety comes first! When the rink is very crowded (Fridays, weekend) stay extra alert! Enjoy responsibly! 👀 Keep an eye on last-minute details in the chat. 💬 See you there😉

Hallo Freunde der deutschen Sprache, der nächste Stammtisch findet am Mittwoch 18. März statt. Alle, die gern deutsch sprechen möchten, sind herzlich willkommen, aber bitte meldet Euch nur an, wenn ihr wirklich teilnehmen wollt! Wir freuen uns auf nette Gespräche. | | | --- | |

Are you the kind of person who happily spends the evening recharging at home with a book? Or the one who somehow leaves a party with three new friends and a plan for brunch next weekend? Introverts and extroverts often approach the world, and their relationships, in very different ways. Some people value quiet moments, deep conversations, and a small circle of trusted friends. Others thrive on social energy, group adventures, and the joy of bringing people together (sometimes adopting strangers along the way). But when it comes to friendship, do these differences actually matter? Join us for a lively and good-humoured debate as we explore the strengths, stereotypes, and surprising qualities associated with introverts and extroverts. Whether you recharge in solitude, in a crowd, or somewhere in between, come share your perspective! This debate will follow a British Parliamentary format with eight debaters split into four teams of two. Participants who wish to speak are highly encouraged to bring a paper and pen. You are welcome to participate even if you have no prior debating experience. ⚠️ Disclaimer: We aim for debates that are respectful, constructive, and welcoming. • Respect ideas and people: Listen actively, stay quiet while others speak, and debate arguments, not identities or beliefs. • Be concise and civil: Keep questions short and relevant; avoid hostility, hate speech, or discrimination. • Respect boundaries and time: No unwanted advances or suggestive behavior; arrive on time to avoid disrupting the debate. • Follow moderators: They guide the discussion and ensure fairness. Looking forward to seeing you there 😊

You can now join us for some friendly Badminton games on Wednesdays too! All levels welcome! IMPORTANT: in order to secure your place you’ll need to both book a spot on Meetup AND pay €8 by Sunday 18h00. This is to make sure we can cancel courts if demand isn’t there, and make sure we’re being fair to people on the waiting list. Refunds will only be possible after Monday AM if another player is definitely able to take your spot Always worth joining our Whatsapp group as well for faster, often better, updates: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FTipqtyIwcZLThbw8KpQtZ?mode=gi_t

**First time comers** Please make sure to read the rules and contact the organizer before! Otherwise you will be moved to waiting list. Apologies for inconvenience but we have to do it to avoid no-shows. **Games format.** 95% are double games (unless someone needs a break), typically 4 people play together 2 sets and then mix with players from other fields. We play with plastic shuttles - Yonex Mavis 2000 (which are provided). **Registration** If it's your first time, please send a private message to the host to confirm. No-shows are taken quite seriously because they unbalance the games a lot. Also once you register please keep an eye on you private messages, in case we need to contact you. **Players level** Having players with much less experience often unbalances the game making it much less interesting for more experienced players. We still try to be welcoming. As a rule of thumb, if you know what a "clear" is, you are welcome to join. (Note that on Sundays the attitude is a bit more relaxed than on Wednesdays, it's the weekend after all ;) ) Otherwise, feel free to get in touch with me (Timur) and we can see if we can arrange so you and existing players can have good experience playing. **Price and payments** The price of participation is EUR 8.95. Payment is on-site in cash, or via payconiq. Info provided during or shortly after the event. **Cancelations and no-shows** * Switches and cancellations are free of charge if done more than 50 hours before the start of the matches * If you cancel within the 50-hour window before the event starts, you will be placed on the wait-list for the next week's event, whether or not a replacement is found. If no replacement is secured, you'll still need to cover your share of the costs.

We're thrilled to announce our **March 2026 Meetup**, hosted in collaboration with **Axway**. This edition covers two hot topics: governing your APIs and AI assets in the enterprise, and getting started with the AI Act — no legal jargon included. 📅 **Date:** March 19, 2026 🕐 **Time:** 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM 📍 **Location:** Quatuor - Tour C, Boulevard Roi Albert II, 4, Brussels (4 min walk from Brussels North station) **Agenda:** * **17:00 - 18:00** — Welcome coffee * **18:00 - 19:00** — Presentations with Q&A * **19:00 - 21:00** — Networking with food & drinks *** 🎤 **Talk 1: The Next Challenge — How to Create API & AI Asset Governance** *Rogier van Boxtel & Jarno Verrijzer (Axway)* Large organizations have created significant amounts of APIs over the last years. With corporate AI initiatives as next kids on the block, MCP and AI Agents are being developed in fast growing numbers as well. End result: all kinds of "integration assets", no governance, no management — resulting in all kinds of (security) risks. The solution: a central governance layer built on a complete, all "integration assets" service registry to be able to create, monetize and show relevant services to internal developers, business partners and "the world". During this presentation Rogier & Jarno will explain today's reality and share the way Axway can help to solve the governance challenge. 🎤 **Talk 2: No Legal Jargon — How Do I Get Started with the AI Act?** *Enzo Marquet (CRANIUM)* In this session, Enzo Marquet will translate the AI Act into concrete implementation: what does the AI Act say, how do you get started with it as a company, what reflexes should you develop, and what should you definitely avoid doing. All of this peppered with best practices! *** **Speaker Bios:** **Rogier van Boxtel** is a highly experienced integration software expert. Over 20 years ago he started as a consultant at TIBCO focusing on Business Process Management & Application Integration. He moved to a Solution Architecture role at TIBCO and after 10 years joined Axway as a Solution Architect and manager covering the complete set of Managed File Transfer, B2B & full lifecycle API Management solutions Axway offers. Today Rogier runs two Solution Architect teams, one covering Benelux & Nordics and one DACH. **Jarno Verrijzer** is a Pre-Sales Architect at Axway, supporting the Benelux, Nordics, and DACH regions, with a focus on the Amplify Platform. With over 10 years of experience in frontend, backend, integration, and enterprise architectures, he helps companies with their API strategy — whether they're just starting out, tackling specific challenges, or scaling their API landscape. **Enzo Marquet** is a Data Protection & AI Consultant at CRANIUM. He works extensively on the overlap between data protection and AI regulation, looking for workable solutions in an ever more complex landscape. Alongside his consultancy work, Enzo provides trainings and lectures on data protection and AI for various training institutes.

It happens very often. * If you have any questions then, message me. *** **A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:** *In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.* *Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.* *I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.* *In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.* **THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**
